Previous Communications
Community Feedback Survey – Results
Almost 500 responses and 1,000 comments were received – a lot of compliments, some criticisms and most importantly, a huge amount of constructive feedback that will greatly assist the CID team on where to focus, prioritise and improve.
It’s also testament to what a great community Camps Bay is that we have such a high level of engagement from residents and the CID team greatly appreciates that.
For the category: “Overall I am satisfied with the Camps Bay CID’s performance so far” 86% agreed or strongly agreed with the statement, 4% disagreed or strongly disagreed, and 10% were neutral.
Generally high to very high levels of satisfaction were reported for all aspects of the CID’s operations.

While the results show the CID has made a good start, a great deal of hard work lies ahead. The CID team will be collating and analysing the comments received and will revert in due course with more comprehensive feedback.
Regards,
CID Team
